RCDLC.COM PLAYER OF DECEMBER: GUARDADO

01 Jan 2012Third straight month in which Andrés Guardado is awarded with the Player of the Month award; the Mexican winger was among the four most voted players in 3 of the 5 games disputed in December. He’s also leading the race in the overall table.

Andrés Guardado is the RCDLC.com player of December as the Mexican winger leaded Deportivo to add three victories and one draw within the last month of 2011, which meant 13 points for him. The ex-Atlas man scored twice in the period and was awarded as the best man in the 3-1 win over CD Numancia, while he was the second most voted man in the clash with Real Valladolid and the third in the game before UD Las Palmas.

Central defender Diego Colotto was the other big winner on the month as the Argentine man received points in two of the five matches disputed in the month, which included been the most voted player in the goalless match with Real Valladolid. His performance brought 12 points in the period.

The third place in the month was Pablo Álvarez, curiously the right winger didn’t have any minute in liga, but it was his performance in Copa Del Rey what brought him ten points. He was the best player considering the whole tie before Levante UD.

Saul Fernandez showed his two faces in the month, like the case of Pablo Álvarez the Asturian only had minutes in Copa, he was the best player in the first-leg with Levante, but then turned into the villain as he was sent off in the second clash, for this reasons he only added six points to end as the fourth player with more points in the month.
